< Jeremiah 27 >

1 When Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, first became king this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा सिदकियाहको शासनकालको सुरुमा परमप्रभुको यो वचन यर्मियाकहाँ आयो ।
2 This is what the Lord has said to me: Make for yourself bands and yokes and put them on your neck;
परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो, “आफ्नो निम्ति डोरीहरू र एउटा जुवा बना । ती तेरो घाँटीमा बाँध् ।
3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by their servants who come to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, king of Judah;
तब तिनलाई एदोमका राजा, मोआबका राजा, अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका राजा, टुरोसका राजा र सीदोनका राजाकहाँ पठा । यहूदाका राजा सिदकियाहकहाँ यरूशलेममा आउने ती राजाहरूका दूतहरूको हातद्वारा ती पठा ।
4 And give them orders to say to their masters, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Say to your masters,
तिनीहरूका मालिकहरूका लागि तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दे र यसो भन्, 'सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना मालिकहरूलाई यसो भन्‍नुपर्छ,
5 I have made the earth, and man and beast on the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I will give it to anyone at my pleasure.
'मेरो महाशक्ति र पसारिएको पाखुराद्वारा म आफैले पृथ्वी बनाएँ । मैले पृथ्वीका मानिसहरू र जनावरहरू पनि बनाएँ, र मेरो दृष्‍टिमा ठिक लागेको जोकसैलाई म यो सुम्पिदिन्छु ।
6 And now I have given all these lands into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant; and I have given the beasts of the field to him for his use.
त्यसैले अब म आफैले यी सबै देश मेरो दास, बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरको हातमा दिंदैछु । साथै, त्यसको सेवा गर्नलाई जमिनका जीवित प्राणीहरू पनि म त्यसलाई दिंदैछु ।
7 And all the nations will be servants to him and to his son and to his son's son, till the time comes for his land to be overcome: and then a number of nations and great kings will take it for their use.
किनकि उसको देशको निम्‍ति समय नआएसम्म सबै जातिले ऊ, उसको छोरो र उसको नातिको सेवा गर्नेछन् । त्यसपछि धेरै जातिहरू र महान् राजाहरूले त्यसलाई अधीन गर्नेछन् ।
8 And it will come about, that if any nation does not become a servant to this same Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and does not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, then I will send punishment on that nation, says the Lord, by the sword and need of food and by disease, till I have given them into his hands.
त्‍यसैले बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरको सेवा नगर्ने जाति वा राज्य र बेबिलोनका राजाको जुवामुनि आफ्नो काँध थाप्‍न नमान्‍ने जोकसैलाई उसको हातद्वारा त्‍यो नष्‍ट नहुञ्जेल म तरवार, अनिकाल र विपत्तिले दण्ड दिनेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
9 And you are not to give attention to your prophets or your readers of signs or your dreamers or those who see into the future or those who make use of secret arts, who say to you, You will not become servants of the king of Babylon:
त्यसैले 'बेबिलोनका राजाको सेवा नगर्नू' भनेर तिमीहरूसँग बोलिरहने तिमीहरूका अगमवक्ताहरू, जोखना हेर्नेहरू, सपनाको अर्थ खोल्नेहरू, भूतप्रेत खेलाउनेहरू र जादुगरी गर्नेहरूको कुरा नसुन्‍नू ।
10 For they say false words to you, so that you may be sent away far from your land, and so that you may be forced out by me and come to destruction.
तिमीहरूलाई आफ्नो देशबाट टाढा पठाउन भनेर तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई झूटा कुराको अगमवाणी बोल्दैछन्, किनकि म तिमीहरूलाई धपाउनेछु, र तिमीहरू मर्नेछौ ।
11 But as for that nation which puts its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and becomes his servant, I will let that nation keep on in its land, farming it and living in it, says the Lord.
तर बेबिलोनका राजाको जुवामुनि आफ्नो काँध थाप्‍ने र उसको सेवा गर्ने जातिलाई चाहिं आफ्‍नै देशमा विश्राम गर्न म दिनेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, र तिनीहरूले त्‍यसको खनजोत गर्नेछन्, र त्‍यहाँ आफ्ना घरहरू बनाउनेछन्' ।”
12 And I said all this to Zedekiah, king of Judah, saying, Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and become his servants and his people, so that you may keep your lives.
त्यसैले यहूदाका राजा सिदकियाहसित मैले बोलें र तिनलाई यो सन्देश दिएँ, “आफ्‍नो काँधमा बेबिलोनका राजाको जुवा थाप र ऊ र उसका मानिसहरूको सेवा गर, अनि तिमी बाँच्नेछौ ।
13 Why are you desiring death, you and your people, by the sword, and because food is gone, and by disease, as the Lord has said of the nation which does not become the servant of the king of Babylon?
तिमी किन मर्ने—तिमी र तिम्रा मानिसहरू तरवार, अनिकाल र विपत्तिले किन मर्ने, जसरी बेबिलोनका राजाको सेवा गर्न इन्कार गर्ने जातिको विषयमा मैले घोषणा गरेको छु?
14 And you are not to give ear to the prophets who say to you, You will not become servants of the king of Babylon: for what they say is not true.
ती अगमवक्ताहरूको वचन नसुन जसले तिमीसित बोल्‍छन् र यसो भन्‍छन्, 'बेबिलोनका राजाको सेवा नगर,' किनकि तिनीहरूले तिमीलाई झूटो कुराको अगमवाणी बोल्दैछन् ।
15 For I have not sent them, says the Lord, but they are saying what is false in my name, so that I might send you out by force, causing destruction to come on you and on your prophets.
‘किनकि यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, मैले तिनीहरूलाई पठाएको छैनँ, किनकि तिनीहरूले मेरो नाउँमा झूटा कुरो अगमवाणी बोल्दैछन् जसको कारणले म तँलाई धपाउनेछु, अनि तिमी र तिम्रो निम्‍ति अगमवाणी बोलिरहने अगमवक्ताहरू दुवै मर्नेछौ' ।”
16 And I said to the priests and to all the people, This is what the Lord has said: Give no attention to the words of your prophets who say to you, See, in a very little time now the vessels of the Lord's house will come back again from Babylon: for what they say to you is false.
मैले पुजारीहरू र सबै मानिसहरूलाई यो कुरा घोषणा गरें र यसो भनें, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः तिमीहरूका अगमवक्ताहरूको वचन नसुन जसले तिमीहरूका निम्‍ति अगमवाणी बोल्छन् र यसो भन्‍छन्, 'हेर, परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका सामानहरू अहिले बेबिलोनबाट फर्काइँदैछन् ।' तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई झूटो कुरा अगमवाणी बोल्दै छन् ।
17 Give no attention to them; become servants of the king of Babylon and keep yourselves from death: why let this town become a waste?
तिनीहरूको कुरा नसुन्‍नू । तिमीहरूले बेबिलोनका राजाको सेवा गर्नुपर्छ र बाँच्नुपर्छ । यो सहर किन भग्‍नावशेष हुने?
18 But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now make request to the Lord of armies that the vessels which are still in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.
तिनीहरू अगमवक्ताहरू हुन्, र परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीहरूकहाँ साँच्‍चै आएको हो भने, यस मन्दिर, यहूदाका राजाको महल र यरूशलेमका सामानहरू बेबिलोनमा नलान भनेर तिनीहरूले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाऊन् ।
19 For this is what the Lord has said about the rest of the vessels which are still in this town,
स्तम्भहरू, 'खँड्कुलो' भनेर चिनिने विशाल बाटा र यसको आधार अनि यस सहरमा बाँकी रहेका सामानहरूका बबारेमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ—
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, when he took Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, a prisoner from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the great men of Judah and Jerusalem;
अर्थात् बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीमका छोरा यहोयाकीनका साथमा यहूदा र यरूशलेका सबै कुलीनहरूलाई यरूशलेमबाट कैद गरेर बेबिलोनमा लैजाँदा तिनले नलगेका समानहरू ।
21 For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said about the rest of the vessels in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem:
परमप्रभुको मन्दिर, यहूदाका राजाको महल र यरूशलेममा बाँकी रहेका सामानहरूका विषयमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ,
22 They will be taken away to Babylon, and there they will be till the day when I send their punishment on them, says the Lord. Then I will take them up and put them back in their place.
'ती बेबिलोनमा लगिनेछन्, र ती फर्काइने दिन नआएसम्म ती त्यहीँ नै रहनेछन्, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । त्यसपछि म तिनलाई ल्याउनेछु, र तिनलाई यस ठाउँमा पुनर्स्थापित गराउनेछु' ।”
